interviews and appearances

[DoT]

ummm, never?

I dunno, I guess I could do some, but it takes forever to convert them to avi for me...

Plus, I'm possibly one of the laziest people ever...

[Sweetie]

hear hear!
i second that motion....

[TT]

im just finishing the list of appearances, and i was wondering...

could it be that there was no joint interview about the 6th series in 2004 ?

or as a matter of fact, no joint interviews since 2000???

seems weird. is it right?

[DoT]

There was very little publicity for series 6. Nothing other than the odd magazine article.

I hadn't really thought about it but it seems to be the case that they haven't done interviews together for a very long time!

[TT]

IT'S VERY STRANGE !

[TT]

this is the list i managed. THANKS AGAIN.
